Tuesday, September 23, 2025 - Police officers from Eldama Ravine Police Station have intercepted a motor vehicle suspected of ferrying uncustomed goods in the Torongo area, Baringo County, through an intelligence-led operation.
The vehicle, a Toyota registration number KDM 652S, was
flagged down by officers on patrol.
However, the driver defied orders, made a sudden U-turn, and
attempted to escape.
Swift coordination between the officers and members of the
public enabled the successful interception of the vehicle.
A search conducted on-site revealed 42 jerricans, each with
a capacity of 25 litres, suspected to contain ethanol.
The driver was immediately arrested and placed in custody
pending further processing and arraignment.
The vehicle was also impounded and is currently being held
at Eldama Ravine Police Station as part of the ongoing investigations.
In a statement, the National Police Service reiterated its
commitment to cracking down on smuggling and the trafficking of uncustomed
goods, stressing that such activities undermine the economy and pose risks to
public safety.
Authorities further urged members of the public to remain vigilant and continue partnering with security agencies by reporting suspicious activities that threaten law and order.
